    LeaderX on difficult conversations with Andrea Newton

    If there is one topic that always comes up in Leadership Development Programme Planning it is difficult conversations, or lack of them.

    The ability to talk about the tough stuff is the fuel of high performance. 

    Andrea Newton is a woman on a mission to get organisations talking about things that matter. Having had her own experience of rooting around at rock bottom, she encourages leaders to get comfortable with the uncomfortable and make sure they are having conversations that they need to have, whether about performance, attendance or even suicide ideation. 
    To be effective as a leader in this day and age, Andrea believes that there are 7 Significant Conversations that we should all be having and her podcast Really Useful Conversations is a way of further encouraging that.

    Lucy Barkas reflects Restarting the team and getting back to basics

    Lucy Barkas reflects Restarting the team and getting back to basics

    In any leadership programme I do with teams, we do a levelling exercise. We get back to basics to discuss, what is the team for, who is on it and why does it matter? 

    It doesn't matter whether it is a new team or one that has been around for ages. I recommend the restarting discussions at least one a year. It clears the decks, lets go of the past and get's all members to focus on the future.

    So here are my reflections on how to do it well.

    Lucy Barkas reflects on what I learned from my leadership mistakes

    Lucy Barkas reflects on what I learned from my leadership mistakes

    Leadership is hard and you won't have all of the answers. I have made mistakes and learned from them. And yet I have been kind to myself. I have owned my mistakes and taken responsibility. When I am at my worst I try to control everything. When I am at my best I trust.

    I learned to lead by treating people like adults. Empowering and building trust.
